How many times have you hand cranked an automobile to start it? Zero, but I've had to push start a couple of them when the battery died. Not quite the same.
Do you remember when batteries were stored under car seats and did you drive such a car? I've seen that on some antique cars but I've never owned one.
Have you ever worn spats? Nope
Do you have fond memories of radio shows? Actually, yes. When I was stationed in Germany, the Armed Forces Radio and Television Service (pronounced AFARTS) used to broadcast some of the classic radio shows late at night. It helped pass many a mid-shift and some of those shows were very entertaining.
How many times have you worn a fedora? None
Do you know what a victorola is and have you used one? Yes, it's a old crank style record player. I played one a time or two at my grandfather's house.
Do you remember when Republicans were associated with Hoover? No, but I've heard more than a few Democrats try to associate Republicans with Hitler.
Do you know who Hoover is? (Hint: Not a vacuum cleaner) President Herbert Hoover
Do you own any Bing Crosby 33-1/3 records? Nope
Do you own any 78 rpm records? Nope, but I used to have some 45s.
Have you ever worn a corset? Nope, but then I'm not a cross-dresser.
Have you ever had your shoes polished by a shineboy? Nope. If my shoes need shining, I do it myself.
Have you ever had a meal at an automat? Nope, but I've eaten at worse places (Ramstein Southside chow hall, AKA Choke and Puke)
Have you used the phrase "sonic" to describe something fast or incredible? Nope
(1/2 point if you have used the phrase 'supersonic')
Do you know what a Collier's is? A. a magazine or B. A trophy given for aeronautical accomplishment.
Do you know what ballyhoo means? Hype
Do you know what hooey means? Crap
Have you ever used the phrase "That's a Duesie." Nope
Have you ever longed for a Stutz bearcat? While antique cars aren't my thing (I prefer airplanes), owning a Stutz would be a good investment. I wouldn't buy one but I wouldn't throw rocks at someone offering to give me a Stutz.
Looks like 7 points, even though I'm "only" 46.
